Me too. Maybe I should downgrade to 2.4.18. See, I'm runing stable. I don't remember the details (USB problem?), but I upgraded from 2.4.18 to 2.4.20, but I used kernel.org sources and patched with SGI's XFS patch directly because there was not a kernel-patch-xfs available for 2.4.20. But now I would like the patches provided in the Debian kernels. Well, I can grab the 2.4.20 kernel source from sid, but the kernel-patch-xfs patch won't install because of dependencies (again, I'm really running stable on this machine). And I can't apply the SGI XFS patch directly because the kernel has been patched by Debian. In other words, I'm not sure I can get a debian 2.4.20+xfs (plus lm_sensors) built on my stable machine. I suppose I could build on my testing machine, but there might be some library issues. I'm not sure. Good way to blow a few hours. > Since you're building your own kernel from source you don't need cramfs, > which is used IIRC for initrd -- and you don't need initrd either.
